Composition of the DPA pending the appointment of the directors and members

The members of the executive committee, the knowledge center and the litigation chamber are appointed by the Belgian Federal House of Representatives on the basis of their competences and experience in the field of the protection of personal data, their independence and their moral authority. Together they face the legal, economic, ethical and technological challenges of the evolution of digital society. The members of the executive committee, the knowledge center and the litigation chamber are appointed for a once renewable term of six years.

The members of the executive committee, the knowledge center and the litigation chamber still have to be appointed by the Chamber of Representatives. Therefore, by law of 24 May 2018 amending the law of 3 December 2017, it was decided that the members of the Commission for the protection of privacy  exercise the duties and powers of the Data Protection Authority during this transitional period. The mandate of the members of the CPP ends on the day on which the members of the executive committee take the oath and sign the declaration confirming that they are no conflicts of interest.

The permanent and substitute members of the former CPP are part of the DPA in its provisional composition. The composition of the DPA pending the appointment of the directors, the members of the knowledge center and the disputes room is as follows:
